Then it's really connected to a DSL modem.
Is the WinXP computer connected to the router by wire or wireless?

What _exactly_ does "stopped working" mean?

What changes? Most wireless works well out of the box using provided
installation tools. Usual problems come from messing with that
configuration (e.g., adding security).

Again, what _exactly_ does "stopped working" mean?

With many DSL ISPs (including Verizon), but not with all.

Turn off _all_ security (preferably by resetting to factory defaults)
(a) until it's working and (b) before troubleshooting.

Probably security screwup, but no way to know how without a lot more
information. WEP? WPA? SSID hiding? MAC filtering? etc.

Start by verifying that you can connect to the router's configuration
screen.

Thrashing around.

No surprise.

Go back to square one and take it one step at a time: Reset the router
to factory defaults. Use the configuration utility to set up PPPoE. Do
_not_ configure any security until it's working.

Take it one step at a time and you'll know what causes it to fail.
